Kermit Vale Songtext
von James Intveld

It was dark on the night that we made love
On the grave of Kermit Vale
The full moon lay on clouds of cold
Like a prisoner′s waiting jail
We ran into the graveyard
On a wager and a dare
We both were young and crazy then
And very hard to scare

That's the night that we made love
On the grave of Kermit Vale

We stepped on every ancient rock
And writings carved in stone
We laughed so hard I slipped and fell
On a grave that sat alone
I wiped away the dirt that must have
Covered up the name
It looked to be an older one
Destroyed by years of rain
But I could see it plain


The grave read Kermit Vale

I held my girl with all my might
Didn′t speak a word
We felt so weak and helpless
That our cries were never heard
We lay our naked bodies down
Upon the jagged stone
She said from this day forward
We would never be alone

That's the night that we made love
On the grave of Kermit Vale

I looked my loved one in the eyes
Free from any shame
The passion that we felt that night
Would never be the same
We were so desperately in love
For life had just begun
And so afraid that someday
We would lose the other one


That's the night that we made love
On the grave of Kermit Vale

And as we rose to leave
I read again what we had seen
That Mr. Vale was not a man
But a boy of seventeen
And as our full moon disappeared
We walked home all the way
And thought about the teenage boy
Who lay there in the grave

That′s the night that we made love
On the grave of Kermit Vale
